Question:

I am trying to update one of my Windows 10 operating system, but it has been stuck in Initializing status.

The update in question is: [Internal – Corpnet Required] 2018-08 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4343909)

windows update stuck

I tried to search for [Internal – Corpnet Required], but there are no results. I'm not sure why Windows Update is stuck. The strange thing is, I was able to successfully install update (KB4343909) on my other Windows 10 machine.

Does anybody know what [Internal – Corpnet Required] is? And why it would be causing my windows 10 update to be stuck in Initializing status?

Here is the result of running winver:

winver

Update:

Running the Fresh Start utility seems to have fixed my issue with Windows Update.

windows 10 update is fine now.

Update 2: After running the Fresh Start utility, I reinstalled software on Windows 10 such as TeamViewer, Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition and SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition. Afterwards, I am getting the same Windows 10 Update issue all over again.

same problem again

When having problems with Windows Update, here are a few possible actions:

  • Run PC Settings, Update & Security, Troubleshoot, and choose Windows Update

  • Run Microsoft's Windows Update Troubleshooter

  • sfc /scannow - check Windows integrity.

  • After resetting Windows Update as in the first point above, rename C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download as explained in this answer and reboot. If this doesn't help, redo again but rename instead C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution and reboot.

One of my machines at home had the same issue.

In brief

I executed the following steps to solve the issue.

Step 1: Reboot in Safe Mode with Networking

Step 2: Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Windows Update > Run the troubleshooter

Step 3: Apply fixes

Step 4: Reboot (start windows normally)

Step 5: Set the correct time zone (make sure your machine has the correct time zone)

Step 6: Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update (if its downloading updates, let it finish. The update with indication [Internal – Corpnet Required] should have a link below it Retry. Click Retry when the update service has finish installing all other updates.

Tried above method (safe mode etc) and it didnt work, Just spoke with Microsoft, this issue can only be fixed by reinstalling Windows, need to create NEW USB media via media creation tool April 2018 edition as it has newer updates imbedded.

For some reason, the update tasks in services.msc are being stopped when this "Internal - Corpnet" update tries initializing. If you go to services.msc you will see BITS stopped. The Microsoft support live help changed this via remote access and it still didnt fix the issue so he recommended a new media creation install.

Download latest Windows 10 media creation tool (USB media creation also available) here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10

Edited: The new install did not work :( Back on the phone to Microsoft.
